Tender Quality Score

This tender for an extra care scheme demonstrates good clarity in its project description and basic requirements, but is significantly hampered by the critical absence of evaluation criteria and a missing reveal date, impacting legal compliance, completeness, and fairness.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The procedure type and CPV code are clearly defined, and there are no reported disputes. However, the absence of a tender reveal date and, critically, the lack of specified evaluation criteria are significant legal compliance issues, undermining transparency and fair competition. Mandatory exclusion grounds are also not explicitly mentioned.

Missing tender reveal date
No evaluation criteria specified
Clarity60/100

The project description and AI-extracted requirements are clear and unambiguous. However, the complete absence of evaluation criteria is a major flaw, as bidders cannot fully understand how their proposals will be assessed, significantly reducing the overall clarity of the tender process.

No evaluation criteria specified
Completeness65/100

Basic information, financial details, timeline, and location are well-defined. However, the tender is incomplete due to the critical absence of evaluation criteria and the lack of explicit mandatory exclusion grounds. Only one of four tender documents is processed, suggesting limited insight into the full documentation package.

No evaluation criteria specified
Mandatory exclusion grounds not explicitly mentioned
Fairness55/100

The requirements appear generic and not tailored, and e-submission via Procontract is supported, promoting equal access. However, the critical absence of evaluation criteria severely compromises fairness and transparency, as bidders lack a clear understanding of the assessment process. The missing reveal date also prevents verification of adequate preparation time from official publication.

No evaluation criteria specified
Missing tender reveal date
Practicality70/100

Electronic submission is supported, and key dates like contract start and duration are clearly specified. However, the absence of a direct URL for accessing the full tender documents reduces practicality for potential bidders. Financing information is limited to the estimated value.

No direct URL provided for tender documents
Limited financing information beyond estimated value
Data Consistency80/100

Most key fields are populated, and dates are logical and consistent. There are no reported disputes or suspensions. Minor inconsistencies include 'Value Classified: Yes' despite the value being disclosed, and 'N/A' codes for procedure type. The 'Liable Person' field is empty.

Inconsistency: 'Value Classified: Yes' while value is disclosed
Empty 'Liable Person' field
Sustainability30/100

The tender does not explicitly incorporate green procurement, social criteria (beyond the inherent social purpose of the project), or innovation focus within the procurement process itself. It is not EU funded.

No explicit green procurement criteria
No explicit social criteria (beyond project's inherent nature)

Strengths

Clear project description and basic requirements
